• Q. What is the Annual Fund?

  The Annual Fund advances the mission of the school by seeking philanthropic support from all constituents who value the quality of a Montrose education. Each year, these individuals, foundations and corporations are asked to make an annual investment in the form of a charitable gift that supports a variety of strategic needs facing the school: technology enhancements, student and faculty programs, and academic programs, to name only a few. In short, it helps to sustain programs and services that are NOT covered by tuition. The Annual Fund forms the basis of our comprehensive development effort and provides an opportunity for all to make a valued investment in the future of Montrose.
